I am trying to connect the output from a radio both to a speaker and taking the same signal and inputting it to the microphone input on a computer. The radio has no internal speaker, just a jack to feed an external speaker. The problem I am having is that the external speaker (required) is acting as a microphone and any noise near the speaker is also being fed into the computer. I need to isolate the speaker from the mic input. Also, the signal needs to be attenuated because of the strength. Any help would be appreciated, as everything I have tried, has not worked.

something like this will give quite a lot of isolation, but it's not perfect.

else go with Chris's suggestion an add another amplifier before the speaker.
